"Mo-ommmmmmmmmmmmmm; do we hafta?!" Mary Anna and Elizabeth Margaret Donner asked in pure harmony. Neither poor girl, now 14 and 15, respectively, had ever liked getting their picture taken. Of course, this was back in the day, before parents could just readily go around snapping photographs aplenty of their prides and joys. Even as young children, as far back as their parents John and Clara could remember, Mary and Lizzie had never begged for attention either: they were usually more than happy...

The Whitehall Rotary Club and the local VFW and American Legion will hold a joint celebration of the 100th anniversary of the historic fishpond on November 11th starting at 12:30 PM at the fishpond. The program of approximately 30 minutes will include a history of the pond and several songs performed by the Whitehall High School band. A reception will be held at the Community Center following the program. The pond was constructed in 1922 in honor of World War I veterans. In the early years it was maintained by the veteran groups, then the...
In late October 1896, the focus was on the upcoming November election. But there was plenty of other news on the front page. A hurricane caused severe damage to resorts at Coney Island, a Brit beat American Johnny Murphy for the bantamweight boxing world title, and notorious highwayman Albert Hence Downen is arrested in Denver and confesses to at least 50 hold-ups around Denver. The focus in Whitehall was also leaning toward the election but regular life continued on as well. The following are...
October 22, 1997 The Supreme Court oral argument briefings on the Whitehall water improvement project were delayed due to the Montana Attorney General’s request for a 10-day delay. The delay was apparently not caused by other - or higher priority - workloads. Rather, the delay was from the relative importance of the case. Neither Bullock nor Baker would say the Whitehall water project case had more importance than other cases they worked on, but both understood the case did not contain itself to the limits of Whitehall. The Whitehall water impr...

History and the supernatural are the canvas for this program that intertwines the past with the present. Historian, storyteller, and award-winning author Ellen Baumler weaves a ghostly web in a...

During the month of October, I find myself eating more candy and sugar, and less meat and protein. So, I looked up different ways to get more protein. I looked everywhere on the internet and couldn't find anything that sounded good to me. So, I asked my cousin Jimmy. Just a little back story about Jimmy, he is inbred, er, I mean genetically challenged, and loves to eat insects. Jimmy suggested that I try cockroaches and sugar, he said it's like ice cream with French fries. I tried it, but could never get the right sugar-to-roach ratio right....
Maggie was almost royalty, but she never got the chance. Born Magda Joanna Kowalski, Maggie was the daughter of a distant descendant to the Hapsburgs. Only a lowly lieutenant at the time, her father was unfortunate enough to be stationed aboard a certain mail train traveling between Warsaw and St. Petersburg. It was this train that was the subject of the infamous Bezdany Raid. Even more unfortunate for our little heroine, who was barely ten at the time, she and her mother had accompanied her...

October 15, 1997 The Jefferson County Commissioners took a tentative first step toward creating a local development corporation (LCD) with a vote to “approve, encourage and support” research into creation of an LDC. Jefferson County Economic Development Agent Scott Mendenhall said an LDC would not only enable the county to move more rapidly on potential economic development projects, but would also better sustain efforts on long-range projects. The Whitehall Town Council learned that the leaks in the new water tank slowed considerably, but not...
